I find what you write confusing. Any time, including the local, can be represented in UTC. Date.getUTCDate and friends provide the current time for a *specific* time zone, namely UTC-0. Is it this you're referring to? Then what you want is a date expressed in this particular time zone. > It would be nice if you could get a > formatted UTC representation of the date by using a format string like > "dd.MM.yyyy" instead of having to build a date string manually like > d.getUTCDate() + "." + d.getUTCMonth() + ... But that would require date calculation, which, as Alex suggested, the DateFormat class is not about. That would require a completely different class.
